The producers likely have more control over this. So, Daniel Craig and Judi Dench's inputs with such a project could give a lot more life to it. Forster would jump at the opportunity to come and work on this as a sort of redemption.
I am. The one of the only things that I don’t blame him for is for trying something different in his career. It was just at the wrong time it seems.
I dont think it is fair to put the entirety of QoS's failings at the door of Forster.
The project was disadvantaged as originally being only 18 months after CR (the original release was May 2008), EoN's then (and continued) lack of forward story planning, and then the writers strike all piling in.
FWIW I quite like QoS but am not blind to its lesser elements.
Sheer Gold!!!! :)>-
It’s interesting this. I understand it’s gritty and brutal. But it’s largely incoherent and illogical. Relentlessly so. There’s a good story in there some where I’m sure but it takes multiple watchings and filling in the gaps to make this one great imo
It certainly took a few viewings for it all to click and make sense for me but I've never held that against it. I love how uniquely grounded the plot is and it's fun following all the connective threads throughout Bond's hurried journey.
It's tough to remember how much I took in during those first few viewings nearly 14 years back, but yes, I've seen it so much since that I can't recall a time where it all didn't make sense to me.
The Craig era was rather weak when it comes to henchmen.
I don’t know why, but I keep thinking twins , two identical assassins.
Lol, perhaps a subliminal influence.
I just find him underrated in that he's treated like garbage or sidelined in literally every single shot he's in.
I don’t see him as underrated, just completely ineffective and non-threatening who is eventually made into a buffoon when his hairpiece pops off.
Elvis also demonstrates some of Greene's contradictions - he's useless, but he's kept around because he's Greene's only family. Yet, at the end, Greene has no compunction whatsoever about planting Elvis in Bond's way and leaving him to his fate, just to buy himself a few more seconds. I really loved how, even at that point, Elvis was so inept that Greene had to raise his arm for him and point the gun in the direction that Bond was coming from! A perfect illustration of just how out of his depth and genuinely pathetic, in the true sense, Elvis was.
